Abstract	A sub-global assessment (SGA) began in Japan in November 2006, and is projected to end in May 2010, when the Tenth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP10) will be held in Nagoya City. Since May 2008, we have been involved in the evaluation of the Hokkaido Cluster, one of four clusters assessed. This report provides a brief background of the relationships between the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) and the SGA, and the governance structure of the SGA in Japan. It also describes our efforts in assessing the Hokkaido Cluster and discusses the challenges of SGA at the cluster and national levels. The MA was a 4-year international appraisal of scientific knowledge on world ecosystems and included global and sub-global assessment. After the MA, Japan began a satoyama–satoumi SGA in 2006. This is composed of six teams: the board, a science assessment panel, author groups, local advisory bodies, the board of review editors, and secretariat. Author groups include a national group and groups for four local clusters: Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hoku-shin-etsu, and Western Japan. Work in the Hokkaido Cluster began with a small group in 2008. Authors for the cluster report were selected from among experts on important events regarding satoyama and satoumi in Hokkaido. Generally, Hokkaido has no traditional satoyama–satoumi landscapes created by long-term interactions with the local people. We are now seeking the style of sustainable nature use that is best suited to Hokkaido. The SGA in Japan now faces the challenge of integrating the four cluster assessments according to common indicators.
